Thus they see none of the grand- eur of Canada, nothing of the simple nobility of us Canadians, No blushing now chaps. Fortunately, these soured critics are only a tiny minority. Most Europeans who come here are re- alists, They find fault with some things in our Canadian mode of living, as we all do. But they are ready to adapt and accept, They have cut the umbilical cord. They realize that if they are willing to give of themselves to this country, they will receive from it, Them we are glad to have. Farm Union Officials Present Their Annual Brief To Ontario Government (By Mrs. R. Hill) The board of the Ontario Far- mers Union met in Toronto and presented their annual brief to the Cabinet, all political parties and the agricultural committee, on March 15 and 16. The delegation, led by President, G, L. Hill, was lar- ger than usual, indicative of in- creased Farm Union activity across the province. Highlights of Brief: 1. Daylight Saving Time was ask- ed to be banned or universal dates set for its use. 2. A special licence classification for farm trucks, used little as compared to commercial trucks, was asked for. The Government suggested a seasonal licence may be introduced. This did not meet Farm Union approval. 3. Misuses of the Expropriation Act were sighted, The Government promised some changes would be made in this Act soon. 4. Compulsory car insurance and changes in the Unsatisfied Judge- ment Fund were asked for. Pre- mier Leslie Frost said there would be some changes here, but said the fund would still exist for hit and run, and tourist accident eases. 5. It was asked that consigners names be revealed at community sales. The Government said they would contact sales managers to talk this over. with `sive',, power hake -off ® 8 forward speeds The new bigger B-275 Diesel is packed with prac- tical aids to better farming —including constant - running 'live' power take -off -8 forward speeds— exclusive IH differential lock -reversible 3 -point hitch --fully adjustable swinging drawbar—weight trans- fer and depth control=- completely independent 'live' hydraulic system and funcoinfort control that takes the fatigue out of driving!

Action on a Crop Insurance Plan was asked for. The O.F.U. was told further study was be- ing taken and suggested a commis- sion would be set up to study a plan in existence. (Manitoba) 8. The Farm Union Plan for de- ficiency payments, based on a un- it system and cost of production was reviewed and the Provincial Government was asked to support this plan whenever possible. It was explained that farmers basic problem was one of "pricing", not a lack of efficiency. Among other things asked for were adequate marketing legisla- tion, uniform text books across the province, and changes in the Hos- pitalization Plan. At the Board meeting of the Hog Producer's Marketing Board was discussed. Many suggestions for an improved board were brought forward. 1. An elected official shall hold office not more than four years. 2. Existence of the three boards, which are not responsible to one another and include the same men on each board registered disa- proval. The average farmer is con. - fused by this, but it was pointed out under the present plan the three boards are. necessary. 3. A more democratic system of elections is necessary. A. township director should be elected by the township hog producers, not coun- ty producers. All voting should be by ballot in open conventions. 4. In the event of a vote, an enu- meration is deemed necessary. The enumeration should be a neu- tral person not associated with farm organizations and nominated by a municipal council. It was sug- gested anyone selling hogs since 1958 be eligible to vote. 6. Interesting question: "Should the Hog Producer's Marketing Board have any more authority to use the producer's money to fur- ther their campaign than a politi- cal party has to use the tax pay- ers money for election campaign funds?" 7. Disapproval of assembly yards was voiced, and the criticism di- rected at all truckers from H.F. M.B. was thought unjustified. Ma- ny reported truckers in their area doing an excellent job, 8. It is felt information coming from Hog Producer's Marketing Board does not always present a true picture, In a recent rural Co -Operator, Mr. McGinnis poin- ted out they would be willing to try out a new system of sale, be- cause they had just been informed they could revert to their present plan, should the new one not work out. The door has always been op- en for them to do this. It is not news. eimesemomeimmoememmemeasouslasaa LOOK LOVELIER IN A Loothid CANADA and CHINA ... Canada has been a nation for not quite a hundred years. In that time Canadians have earned a way of life unequalled outside North America and not even approached by countries whose histories go back thousands of years — countries such as China. Part of Canada's success comes from her ability to produce steel. Canada, with a population under 18,000,000, produced 660 pounds of steel per person last year. China, with a popu- lation of 600,000,000, turned out 25 pounds per person. This higher productivity comes from the factories Cana- dians have built. For example, The Steel Company of Canada, Limited has invested more than $300,000,000 in its plants and equipment since 1940. Canadians produce more mainly because Canadian com- panies are continually improving their plants and equipment.

The advisability of an "advi- sory committee" to H.P,M.B. was discussed.. It could include as well as producers, someone from: con- sumers, domestic meat packers, (the small packers), transporters. It was thought a committee of this nature could do a lot to promote public relations, which are obvi- ously lacking to -day.
